Is the definition of intralar seta wrong here: https://www.delta-intkey.com/anatox/morphol.htm Based on that the two rightmost setae in front of the scutellum would be intralar (the inner one) and postalar (outer one).
That page describes terminology used in Tephritidae. The terminology used to distinguish
Minettia (and New World relatives) from other Lauxaniidae is different. There is a second bristle, often weak, in front of the one adjacent to the scutellum. See
Manual of Nearctic Diptera volume 2 page 957 figure 31.
